King V Pro vs King V Std?

[MortenP]

I tried to search for this, but can anybody tell me about the differences in the King V pro vs the standard?

Thanks!

The Pro is neck-thru with bound, 24-fret ebony board. The Standard is bolt-on with 22-fret rosewood board.

^ what Toe said.

I had a KV Std a few years back. Very well-built guitar. If you're looking to get one, I'd say they're worth around $200-$300.

I'd say the only thing that's not different between those two guitars is the body shape

What's even more confusing is that the King V Std has "Professional" on the headstock.
Here's my White 1993 King V Std.


These are great guitars in my opinion and are a sleeper.
I bought mine for $210.00 on ebay about 2 years ago.
I added the Bullseye and the EMG.

Hehe, I stumbled across a necktru, with Mustaines signature on the headstock along with a truss-rod cover that says King V std..A mix-up perhaps?

Interesting. Definitely not a Std if it's neckthru with Dave's sig. That would be a Pro and they go for around $1500.

They're both part of the Professional series, but the Standard is not a Pro.

It's NOT a Pro. Just because it says Professional does not make it a Pro. The "Pro" series were neck-thru and had ebony boards, MOP inlays. They rivaled the USA series back in the day and were discontinued because of that.

Well, that thread is also about Pros, not Professionals.

This is a vinyl decal and black pinstripes around the perimeter of the bevels.
I think it cost about $35.00 on ebay
Looks like paint until about 1 foot away. Cheap and easy and it's better than plain white I guess?

I was thinking about loading some pictures up sometime when I'm bored.
